Hi Canada,
I was not kidnapped but I was held hostage by a terrorist group as a child while they decided who in my family they wanted to kidnap. I was 5 at the time, I am now 23. I don't have much to say about accepting that which you cannot change. I just ignored it and instead became the bubbly girl for the past 18 years so I'm just now actually realizing how much work I have to do regarding this. I first realized how much this incident affected my life last year when I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. During the events leading up to that and the year since I have felt very hopeless and helpless. I don't have any advice on how to handle it, just wanted you to know you are not alone.
